Doctors in Ancona, Italy are calling for more studies on the influence of plant-based phytochemicals on the inner workings of mesothelioma cells. Surviving Mesothelioma has more on the new report. Click here to read the full article.

Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Marche say there is good evidence that many of the phytochemicals that protect fruits and vegetables from threats may also help protect people from the asbestos-based cancer, malignant mesothelioma.

According to the researchers, so far, only one phytochemical – ursolic acid found in apple peels – has been shown to regulate microRNA in malignant mesothelioma.

“Given the amount of research on plant compounds released in the last year alone, it is reasonable to imagine that scientists have only scratched the surface of what these compounds could mean for the treatment of malignant mesothelioma and other cancers,” says Alex Strauss, Managing Editor for Surviving Mesothelioma.
